Join us at the Waltham Museum on June 7th at 1:30pm as we continue our Social Series with Echoes of Release: A Sound Bath Experience
Join us for a deeply immersive and healing experience with sound bath practitioner Leslii Stevens, whose roots in the music industry and expertise in vibrational therapy create a one-of-a-kind journey of restoration and renewal.

A former tour media professional who traveled extensively with blues and rock legends—capturing the rhythm of life both on and off stage—Leslii now blends her passion for sound, healing, and performance into transformative sound baths using crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other resonant instruments. With her unique background in music, yoga, and trauma-informed practices, Leslii crafts a sonic landscape that supports the nervous system, quiets the mind, and opens the heart.
Whether you’re new to sound healing or a returning listener, this experience offers a safe and soul-nourishing space to relax, reset, and reconnect with your inner rhythm.
Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, and anything that helps you feel cozy and supported while lying down.
